A Ruined Date

A Country Wordsmith

Well, we got along just fine, 
The other night when we went to dine . 
She was funny, just as her profile, 
Then silence reigned for a while . 
She did get quite, just as the venue, 
From the moment I read from the menu. 
I proposed my favourite, with extra cheese, 
She nodded,” Then pizza it Is.” 
She ordered hers and I did mine . 
She said Bologna, I said Number nine. 
She frowned and grabbed the menu , 
Oh boy! She got loud along with venue. 
“You are evil and uncultured .” She yelled. 
And I was like,”what the hell.” 
“How could you not put this in bio?” 
“But wrote your favourite Color green though.” 
I was like,” Hang on, you Renaissance Monalisa.” 
It is just a pineapple pizza. 
Don’t you be so mean. 
And who doesn’t like green.” 
She left saying she was not the kind of girl, 
That would ever date pineapple pizza people. 
I got up and showed her way to the door, 
Because I just love my pizza more . 
I don’t regret even a percent, 
The way that night my date went.

    Brilliant! lmao
    'each to their own'
    when our divisive lines
    are so comprehensive, we have
    to find ever-new
    and meaningless lines, for segregation, well
    all we can do, is shake our heads
    and swipe to the next page
    cos, it will take more than our generation
    to find a tangible, solution... lol
    I really don't get, why
    this is even a topic, let alone grounds for battle lines to be drawn..
    since when, is the effect of opposing flavours in food
    so grotesque?
    There's an entire continent who've grown-up delighting in that timeless delicacy
    tilled, 'Sweet & Sour'
    and let's not forget
    how many of the world's Classic dishes
    have cemented their legacy
    by combining flavours to create that wondrous, salt and sugar culinary combination...?
    (I get it, some
    don't like it,
    but to Hate it?
    and act like
    its some Alien, notion
    to Comprehend?
    Well, that's just the heights of
    Modernity's: Absurd
    'In my humble opinion'.. lol
    (thanks for sharing
    and inspiring my feeble, scribbled reply,
    was just having fun)
